Prayer & Liturgy at Holy Family
Prayer & Liturgy at Holy Family
At Holy Family, our whole-school community have daily opportunities for Prayer, Liturgy and Prayerful Reflection.
Our prayer life is centred upon the Gospels, Catholic Social Teaching, Catholic Values and British Values.
Our Prayer & Liturgy contain these 4 elements:
Prayer & Liturgy - 2024-25
Our Prayer Garden
Our Prayer Garden, with its focal point of St Francis, is a space used for whole-class teaching and independent quiet reflection and personal prayer during beak and lunch for both pupils and staff.
The prayers, written by the pupils and posted in the 'Prayer Box', are then used in our Friday 'Celebration Worship'.
'Prayer Stones' for our Prayer Garden
The Liturgical Art Club is creating prayer stones, transforming simple rocks into meaningful works of faith. Each stone is hand-painted with symbols, scripture, and images designed to inspire prayerful reflection. As we craft these sacred pieces, we invite the Holy Spirit into our creativity, enriching our worship space with beauty and intention. These prayer stones serve as a gentle reminder of God’s presence, offering a moment of peace and meditation to all who visit the garden.

Prayerful Reflection at Holy Family
Prayerful Reflection is a really important part of life at Holy Family.
We all are given the opportunity to think carefully about our God given talents and living our lives in response to the teaching of Christ.
Our prayer and reflection monitors are also important as they help to plan, set up and take ownership of the reflection time, depending on which year group they are in.
